Joe DiGenova: James 'Cardinal' Comey — the man who destroyed the FBI

Wyatt Earp. Elliot Ness. J. Edgar Hoover. Inspector Clouseau. James Comey. The names reflect a continuum, from greatness to farce and mediocrity.

In the annals of U.S. law enforcement, no individual has reached such depths of disgrace as James “Cardinal” Comey. The “Cardinal” was a sobriquet that FBI agents used to denigrate their leader. As Deputy Attorney General, he was called “drama queen.” Known for his pomposity and self-regard, Comey cut a swath of arrogance unmatched in the histories of either of those illustrious organizations. He was the cult of personality. He surrounded himself with sycophants, people dedicated to his promotion and their advancement. The Bureau and the public became the losers.

The Comey Memos, a 15-page suicide note, reveal a deeply tortured and troubled man. They have a hausfrau sentimentality. But they are telling nonetheless.

As we watch in amazement the mendacious and fiction-laced Comey book tour (truly a tour de farce), one is struck by the utter phantasm he has created around and about him. With each successive lie, he sinks to a new low. Ask yourself this question: Can you imagine William Webster or Louie Freeh mounting this psychodrama defense of their tenures as FBI director? To ask the question is to answer it.

The American people are being treated to a dose of reality about Washington, D.C. Comey is a symptom. The disease is a voracious, rapacious government filled at high levels by people of immense ego and viciousness. Whether it is the IRS’s Lois Lerner, Comey, or the political thugs Obama installed at the highest echelons of the U.S. Department of Justice, the CIA, the DNI, and the NSC, they all share a common bond: allegiance to a cause unrelated to the Constitution,...

He *accelerated* the decline but they’d been going downhill for over 30 years.

Think of them as a realllly well-funded CRIPS but with undented cars.

[Captain7seas]

So, with Comey’s communist connections (Diana West, “Red Thread”) how was he installed as Director of the FBI?

To ask that question is to answer it also?

[Jane Long]

Ping!!

Joe says Huber was appointed by Obama. I thought Huber was appointed by Sessions?

[Bonemaker]

The names reflect a continuum, from greatness to farce and mediocrity....and finally, evil.

[jazusamo]

Huber was nominated by 0bama in February of 2015.

Think of them as a realllly well-funded CRIPS but with undented cars.

More like the model used by La Cosa Nostra, but with unlimited power and money.

Excerpt, appointed by Sessions for the investigation:

“Almost no details have emerged about Huber’s investigation since he was appointed in March 2018 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate the FBI’s handling of the politically-charged investigations of Clinton and Trump.”

Thanks for the mention of Diana West’s new book. I hadn’t heard about it, so just looked it up on Amazon. Fantastic reviews. I look forward to reading it soon.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for posting this reminder about the FBI's not very wonderful history in America. Their reality is not their Comey image.

Fortunately, their attempted Comey/Coup has been basically bloodless for our side.

I thought Sessions also appointed someone, an IG?

[nikos1121]

Why did Joe say it was by the Obama administration in his article?

[jazusamo]

I could be wrong but I believe Joe is referring to the FISA criminality of the FBI and DOJ under 0bama.

From article:

“the U.S. Attorney in Utah who has been appointed to investigate the FISA criminality by the Obama FBI and DOJ.”

[Hotlanta Mike]

Ft. Leavenworth is looking for a good Cardinal...

[nikos1121]

This is the direct quote from the article:

“The treachery revealed by Comey, Clapper, and Brennan requires accountability. That can only happen through a federal grand jury investigation headed by John W. Huber, the U.S. Attorney in Utah who has been appointed to investigate the FISA criminality by the Obama FBI and DOJ.”
